Update on Campaign Support and Strategy
Dear Delegate and Supporters,
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to personally reach out to inform you of an important decision regarding my campaign.
After thoughtful consideration and discussion, I have decided to throw my support behind Jim Boelens, Jr. I recently met with Jim and we mutually agreed that joining forces will better serve our shared goal of defeating the HD-18 Democratic candidate in the upcoming election.
It is crucial that we unite as a party to focus our efforts on combating the opposition rather than diverting energy towards internal competition. By consolidating our support, we can maximize our impact and present a strong, united front for our conservative values and principles.
I appreciate your understanding and continued support throughout this process. Together, let's work tirelessly towards securing a victory for our party and advancing our vision for HD-18.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to our cause.
Warm regards,
Shana Black
My name is Jim Boelens and I set out to build a platform we could all stand on - and I believe we started that today.
I am so humbled and honored to win the support of the HD18 delegates today. I am gracious to have met so many of you along the way to this victory and who helped me make it into the primary. I'm also thankful for the other folks who put their necks out there and tried to get on the ballot. Participation in our electoral processes and competition are essential for a thriving democracy. We should commend them for their efforts as well as many of the other great republicans from all walks of life and backgrounds who have united behind me to gain the HD18 seat.
Speaking of thriving, that's what I want for this great state. As a general contractor and independent construction worker, I can tell you Colorado has a strong foundation but boy does she need work. My campaign slogan is to "build a platform that we can all stand on" and that's what we are going to do.
Signed,
Jim Boelens
Candidate: HD18
I AM JAMES BOELENS and I seek your nomination for House District 18 Representative.
As a small business owner for more than 35 years, I have built strong foundations up and down the front range. I'm going to Denver to help build concrete standards for Colorado. I spent my birthday on the house floor as the Democrats passed their Budget. I listened to representative Degraef and Bottoms speak against the evil we call democrats and their agenda that is trying to control our state.
I am doing this for my kids and grandkids so they can grow up in the America I was able to grow up in. The America that my ancestor John Alden was hoping to have when he stepped off the Mayflower nearly 400 years ago. I believe in God, Family, and community. I believe in DIVINE PROVIDENCE gods preservation of creation, his cooperation with everything that happens and his guilding of the universe.
My mother played the organ at church every Sunday. At the end of every work day, my mom would drop everything to greet my father to give him a hug and kiss. I would often hear my 2 younger sisters running to the door and excitedly announcing "Daddy's Home!" My oldest sister was adopted. Both of my sisters are now educators. I lived across the street from my grandparents, and I can still hear my Grandfather preach: "work smart not hard," and "if you are going to do something do it to the best of your ability - no matter who it's for or what you are getting paid."
I'm here today with my youngest of two boys. I have six grandchildren, one who was born at 25 weeks…definitely a Godsend. Also here with me is My better half Sergeant first class Kimberly Rock, an Army veteran of 22 years. I know a little bit about the struggles vets go through to get the benefits they deserve. As my boys grew up I was their little league coach. I preached positivity especially to the parents. I was an assistant Scout Master at an Air Force Academy troop, where I mentored young boys into leaders of men. One such young man who I helped earn his Eagle Scout Badge ,Has volunteered on my campaign.
As a ten year old I wore my cub scout uniform around the neighborhood shoveling snow and cutting grass. At the age of 21 I started a wedding D.J. service often doing school dances and major music Venues. At 26 I had my own construction company; I understand what it means to build a small business and how regulations and government overreach are destroying the mom and pop shops.
At 45 I founded Flying Aces Free Poker, a Texas hold'em Poker league servicing the local taverns in Colorado Springs. As a problem solver I hired the homeless, many of whom are PRODUCTIVE members of our community today. I hired single parents and seniors on social security. In Denver I will fight to help small businesses, they are the backbone of America and part of the American Dream.
Owning my own construction Company and helping a friend with his trucking company. I visited construction sites up and down the front range. I know what open borders are doing to our wages and the middle class. We need more candidates like myself to attract the UNAFFILIATED voters. Enough of the establishment politicians that say one thing and do another. I am an endowed life member of the national rifle association. I have been a Republican precinct co-chair, Delegate and registered voters at the 2020 Trump rally
I want to build a platform that we all can stand on. In Denver I will support education, small business, lower taxes and our God given rights. I believe everything in my life was God directing me to serve my community. God bless you and God bless America. Lets flip this district red. I AM JAMES BOELENS AND I ASK FOR YOUR VOTE!
